Package: java-package Version: 0.52 Severity: normal Hi,
during the 0.52 cycle the package names were changed from (i.e.) oracle-j2re1.7 to oracle-java7-jre While I generally think the new names are cleaner the old package is not replaced by the new package automatically. I can think of two ways for this to happen. a) add appropriate Breaks+Replaces to the generated package b) document a way to build transitional packages I have attached our local way of doing b) here. Probably not perfect, but seems to do the job. Best Regards, Bernhard
